Bombay Sapphire gin is based on a 1761 recipe created by pioneering English distiller Thomas Dakin. Bombay Sapphire continues to be made using a Carterhead still purchased by the Dakin family in 1831. Bombay Sapphire was also the first premium gin to showcase the importance of botanicals, which are hand-selected from exotic locations around the world by Ivano Tonutti, Bombay Sapphire Master of Botanicals.
Crafted in the 1980’s to capture the imagination of an American audience, the striking translucent blue glass bottle that Bombay Sapphire is known for today came into existence.
